Luca Bacer ticks Xaxid hostel (9a)
Luca Bacer, a PhD student in mathematics, has completed Xaxid hostel (9a) in Miลกja Peฤ. โThe best climbing flow Iโve ever had.โ (c) Nicholas Hobley
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I first tried the route two years ago, after climbing Sanjski Par, but this has been the first season Iโve really decided to put serious effort into it.
Two months ago I started working on it more consistently and managed to do some good links, although I had never gotten through the first crux.
Yesterday, despite the bad conditions, I did the first boulder and then climbed all the way to the top. Clipping the chains was an incredible relief
